as soon as the coal is all taken out of
the old drift, it being necessary for the
old mine to be abandoned before the
above changes can be made.
All the above mentioned changes
and improvements have been and are
being made under the very able and
efficient management of .B. S. Ran
dolph, general superintendent.
This opening affords convenient
access to the great bulk of the Con-
solidation company's coal, and, l
might add, the largest undeveloped
tract of coal land in the Georges
Creek region. And when we consider
the vast outlay made by the company
here within the past few months there
is every reason to believe that this
slope is destined to become one Of the
heaviest shipping mines in any part Of
the eastern bituminous coal fields.
AS to the excellent plans and oper
ations of the inside works of this mine
we are frank to assert that they can
not be surpassed. Everything moves
like clockwork-almost without jar.
There is no telling, in the absence Of
test, the quantity of coal that can be
gathered and brought forward to the
bottom Of the slope. The convenience
and facilities are so cOmDlete that a
constant stream of coal can be kept
moving from morning until evening.
Philip McMahon,a "a practical and skill
full mining boss, is in charge of this
slope. In the short time he has been
here he has made q number OF i'm
portant changes in the inside workings
Of the mine. He is a thorough-going
fellow, and seems to have the good
will of all under his immediate charge.

Our young and capable friend,
Patrick Rourke, like the JOURNAL,
has been considerably but very unde-
servedly crushed in his contact with
the school divvy of this year. At
Mt. Savage he went down before a
surging demand for "tone," and other
considerations. Barton wanted a
"mash," and he succumbed before
that new species of school idolatry,
and something else. Now, if he gets
aplace at all, it must be where society
is fastidious rather Of qualifications or
merit than of either or both an aristo-
cratic bearing or a skin-deep efligy Of
beauty. So that, as the eminent NJ.
Bunthorne remarked when he gave
Lady Jane the first grab in the mat
rimonial lottery, Mr.. Rourke "wants
to know the worst"

WITHOUT mentioning names the
Homecoming Reoieac gives the Frost
burg persecution of the Salvation
Army a heavy jolt. Down there the
RevieW ''doesn't think the idea of
arresting them ever entered the
head Of the meanest man in town."
That argues, Of course, tilat II very
superior brand Of religious liberation
is patronized in Homecoming.
Against which we will set up the
eloquent declaration under oath of
ex-Mayor Skidmore that mine out
OF ten people in Frostburg were op-
posed to disturbing the Salvation
Army"
Let us add to this the incon testable
fact that the Army has many more
friends in Frostburg now than it ever
owned before, and we will have
reached very nearly up to the Iona
coming standard.

A teacher in jackson county, Tenn, who
added to his usual duties those of an advo-
cate of prohibition, found his schoolhouse
surrounded Tuesday by mob of indignant
Tennesseans, who wouldn't let him enter
They objected, it seems, to his assumption of
superior wisdom as to the quality and guam
tity of fluids they should imbibe and Install
ed a new teacher with unobtrusiye views. The
disbarred teacher rallied the "dries'' among
his patrons and is now teaching away again.
1t is an open question in Tennessee whether
teacher has the right to teach what is not
in the book.-Baltimore Sun.
Whatever it may be in Tennessee,
the question is d closed one here.
The notion which has got on the
track and gained momentum in this
centre of etherialized education is
that the way to teach is to teach
without books at all.
This system was in vogue last year
pretty generally, it is believed. At
least the results were so decidedly
spiritueUe that one could not tell q
chunk of education from any other
invisible object.
The worst Of the matter is-the
prospectus is out for very consider
able repetition Of last years scholastic
fascO.

opinions don't amount to anything these

such talent in this metropolis. The papers
suit until something Is said about them or
their dead ancestors or an association to
which they belong, when they come out and
denouncethe action of the whole press.
The way to do, though, is-sock
the truth into them; consent to be
misunderstood, misrepresented and
denounced until the slow verification
Of your wisdom comes to view.
Then when they depreciate or

Many, many times, though, am

believe they have right to praise
God anywhere, if their way of worship

worship (and worship of God is mans
supreme duty should be allowed to
obstruct business or travel confuses
me nearly as bad as if somebody were
to ask me whether business or travel
should be allowed to obstruct divine
worship. Some people say it is not
right to run Sunday trains others say
business demands it. Which makes
the biggest demand on our religious
nature-the observance of the Sab
bath, or the needs OF business? In
Frostburg, with some exceptions, the
people say by their rest, dress and
attendance at church that the Sab
bath should be observed. Our rail

these very people contend that the
Salvation army should be made to
worship some other way or somewhere
else because itintorferes with business.

Broadway they commenced at Main

buildings twenty or thirty years old

pie who want this improvement (and l
am one Of them) don't want to tear
down buildings when there is plenty of
room on the other side. They want
Miss Steyer's house and outbuildings
to continue to be the left side of
the line as far as they go, as they
have been for many years. My idea
convinces me that eight feet of the

CORRESPONDENCE
4 BOOMING MTNE.

TO the MINING JOURNAL.
Since the great strike of 1882, and
more particularly within the last three
or four months, series of improve
ments have been progressing at this
place, which, when completed, will
tend to give these mines an entirely
new and different appearance.
The old buildings formerly adjacent
to the mine have nearly all been either
removed or taken down and new ones
erected in more convenient locations.
The old large scale-house and dump
house are now about the only remnants
to be seen of the famous Ocean No. l.
Yet, while the old works and their
many surroundings will disappear and
be known as one amongst the Oldest
and best producing mines of this re-
gion in the past, the new works, with
all their modern Improvements and
ablest management will surpass the
old in every particular, and i'll the near
future become not only second to none
in the region but equal to the heaviest
producing mine in any of the great
soft coal regions now forwarding coal
to the eastern seaboard.
OF the many improvements already
completed and those now under way,
we make the following notes:
Probably one hundred and fifty or
two hundred feet from the mouth of
Ocean slope stands fine, large, two
story building GGX4S feet. This build
ing affords stabling capacity for Is or
90 mules. 1t is furnished with all the
attachments necessary to Il frst-class
stable, and is said to be the largest and
most commodious now located at any
of the company's mines.
Next we notice a new back switch
elevated side track it being constructed
near the slope, which, when COM
pleted, will conduct the empty ears
from the dump-house short distance
by gravitation. They will then be
drawn back up the little elevated in
cline by means of rope and small
stationary engine, when they will be
moved forward to a standing place
near the mouth of the slope, ready to
be sent down when called for, The
tracks are arranged much in the shape
of the letter Y. This new arrange
mont will enable the management to
handle coal with considerably more
dispatch and convenience, and will
do away with the old method now in
use of moving the empty cars from the
dump-house to the slope by lifts and
jerks"
About 5000 feet of 3-inch pipe has
been recently laid, conveying an
abundant supply of fresh water from
! the Woodland creek to the mine. The
main pipe leads into the boiler-house
of the slope engine, furnishing al
ample supply of good water to feed The
boiler. A branch pipe has been lait
into the stable to supply the mint
mules and to serve as a protection
against fire. a section has also beer
laid down the manway to the slope tC
furnish water to feed the pump boilers
A small number of laborers arr
busily engaged laying track where
by all the mine timber can be placeC
in a convenient place to be reloaded
upon the mine cars.
1t is said new dump-house and /;
large new scale-house will be erected

The death of Judge Gordon takes
from the citizenship Of this county
one of its noblemen. His biography,
known and read Of his contem-
poraries since 1910, attests by gener-
al consent life honorable in all its
relations to the community. In the
county and out Of it he was held in
high esteem as a gentleman Of the
old school and a great lawyer. His
scholarship reached beyoni his pro-
fession and embraced in its wide
scope the still developing philosophy
OF this prolific age as well as the
classics of the deep past. 1t was a
genuine pleasure to meet him. The
JOURNAL never did so without
profit. So that it is with sincere
regret we place in these columns the
record of his death.

The Changing Stars.

In concluding his article on The Stars, y
in the Midwinter Century, Professor Lang
lev uses this illustration "When primitive
man learned that with lapsing years the
oak withered and the very rock decayed,
more slowly but as surely as himself. he
looked up TO the stars as the very types of
contrast to the change he shared, and fond
~ deemed them eternal but now we have
found change there, and that probably the
star clusters and the nebulR, even if clouds
of suns and worlds, are fixed only by com
parison with our own brief years, and,
tried by the terms of their own long eX
istence, are fleeting like ourselves. | have
read somewhere a story about a race of
ephemeral insects who live but an hour.
To those who are born in the early morn
ing the sunrise is the time of youth. They
die of old age while his beams are yet gath
ering force, and only their descendants
live on to midday while it is another race
which sees the sun decline, from that which
saw him rise. Imagine the sun about to
set, and the whole nation of mites gathered
under the shadow of some mushroom Ito

their philosopher has to say of the gloomy
prospect. If | remember Alright he first
told them that incredible as it might seem,
there was not only a time in the world :
youth when the mushroom itself was young,
but that the sun in those early ages was in
the eastern, not i'll the western, sky.
Since then, he explained, the eyes of scien-
tifc ephemera had followed it, and estab-
lished by induction from vast experience
the great law of nature, that it moved on
ly westward and he showed that since it
was now nearing the western horizon sci
ence herself pointed to the conclusion that
it was about to disappear forever, together
with the great race of ephemera for whom
it was created.
